Welcome

I am a natural light photographer, specializing in Seniors, Individuals and Engagement Sessions. I love to capture the special memories that will be cherished by your family for years to come. Capturing real life as a portrait is what I love to do. Real. Life. Portraiture.

Fall Family Session

I love fall! I get to drive past this gorgeous grove of trees every day! I was excited to do this session here and this cute family just finished it off...Mrs. T. is one of my daughters kindergarten teachers and she absolutely adores her. (She was pretty disappointed that I wouldn't let her come with me!)

8 Months Old!

Its crazy enough watching my own kiddos grow up, but absolutely amazing seeing someone else's baby do the same thing! This little cutie pie is just growing like a weed!

Rachel~ Santiam Christian High School~


Rachel has the most stunning serious look, not to mention her gorgeous smile! We did her session at her aunt and uncles property and they have the BEST red barn ever...seriously, I loved it. The lighting was perfect, the barn was perfect! We had a great session and got so many amazing shots!

Another Senior- Stayton High School

This was a fun and easy senior session with Heather, her friend and her aunt. I had never been to this park in Stayton before but it is amazing! It has the most gorgeous covered bridge...I think there were three other photographers there that day. :) Thanks Heather!!

South Albany High School Senior Session

I loved meeting with Whitney and her mom...we had an evening session with some absolutely gorgeous sunlight! Whitney and her mom are both so fun, we got some really cute shots! *Even in the middle of the road!

Mini Sessions, Busy-ness, Winter Break and such

*This is a LONG post, but so worth it...lots of good info here! Please read it and check out whats going on!*

Well, I said I was going to take care of this poor neglected friend here, but have yet to do so! I can honestly say that I have a couple of posts in the works and hope to get them up tomorrow and the next day. But for now you get this post...a hodgepodge of info! :)
In order of the title....Mini-Sessions, then Busy-ness, Winter Break and at the end...some "and such"

Last year I offered some Christmas Mini-Sessions and have had lots of requests to do this again. Unfortunately this year I am unable to offer this! :( Sad!! I know...and I apologize to all of you who e-mailed me about it that I am not able to respond to each and every one of you.
Here are just a few images from last years sessions!

As I mentioned recently, I have been incredibly busy! Too busy! But its all good...not only have I enjoyed a lot of awesome sessions with super cool clients (I mean it! I love my clients and I think they are the BEST!) but I have also been working in the pre-school at Albany Christian School while my youngest is at Kindergarten each morning. It is quite a feat to make it to work each day as well as all of my sessions, soccer practice, editing sessions and still having a free moment with my family!

At this time I am not taking any new appointments. If you have called or e-mailed about scheduling an appointment I am booking for April, 2011 right now. I am taking the "Winter" off starting in November-March. I know this is a long break, but I hope to accomplish some large tasks regarding my business, website, logo etc. I can't wait to unveil the changes next Spring! If you are one of my "baby's first year" clients, NO WORRIES! I have not forgotten about you and I will definitely still be scheduling your sessions when they come up between November and March! :)

What else? I have been loving the fall weather, crisp mornings and warm afternoons are just my cup of tea! And speaking of tea! I have recently started REALLY loving tea. I have kinda liked it in the past but lately it is just what I need! I have a new favorite in packaged tea since my favorite loose-leaf tea is no longer available, its called "Perfect Peach" and is perfect with just a little splenda! I think my tastes have changed....I like to think maybe because I am getting older and mor sophisticated or something! (Ha!) More likely because I have tried to cut out almost ALL sugar from my diet and most sugar from my family's diet as well! It is amazing how your tastes can change!

And last....our family recently had some portraits taken. "Your Street Photography-By Meghann Street" did our session earlier this month and I can't tell you how much I love them! Meghann did a great job and I would definitely recommend her if you are in the greater Portland area! The following are not my portraits but rather the work of Meghann Street!
